    Great! Thank you @youngunn for reaching out to them. A tin of their soap was really popular on the first pass-around.

    Crowne & Crane Bay Rum soap, Pinaud's virgin island bay rum aftershave, paa gun kote Grackle razor, rapira blade, Icelandic gilt lava bowl, rolls Royce sampling spoon, wolf whiskers synthetic brush

    Crowne & Crane has done it again...great room-filling scent, high quality lather, slick with very good cushion. This is a brand you should check into.

    Am I to understand some soaps stay permanently in the box correct?

    Yes, the TSD vendor soaps remain in the box. They are labeled and in ziploc bags that I hope will last the whole pass-around. If you have a question when it gets to you just let me know!

    Yes. They are in baggies and labeled so you know which ones. They are the vendor-gifted soaps

    We should consider adding aftershaves, razor blades, etc on the next go 'round.
    Of course, if this replaces the "nationwide box tour," then that would happen anyway.

    I don't intend to replace the Nationwide Box.....I want to keep this strictly a soap and cream pass-around. Someone else could start an aftershave or hardware pass-around if they like but this one will stay relegated to soaps and creams.

    Hello Y'all. Where is the box now, and when will it be going next?

    It is with me. I have been giving updates everyday. There is too much to try in a week, so I am about at the point of putting samples in containers to try so I can ship. I will probably ship out Wednesday. I already have the address of the next person.

    The box is going to @Kenneth Sampson next. Good idea @Straight razor dandy about taking some samples for later on. There is so much to try and taking a small sample of some soaps for a shave or two beyond when you have the box is quite acceptable!

    I bought a bunch of condiments containers to put samples in and mail it back out. I'm going by SRD's reviews and my nose lol. Looking forward to the mayhem.

    SOTD
    Stirling orange chill, Floid blue, Delta echo razors slim, wolf whiskers synthetic brush, hand crafted ceramic pottery bowl, shark blade

    Stirling is just one of the best soaps in EXISTENCE. Thank you for these Samples @ezlovan
    I have actually never tried orange chill before today, which is shocking since I have tried around 90% or more of their offerings. It is very orange-y and of course chilled...with that easy to lather base that cushions for days.

    It truthfully is very reminiscent of South Texas orange groves when there is a freeze. There is citrus bursting at the seams but still somewhat held back due to the frost. A hint of sweetness that permeates the air as you breath in the crisp breeze. It is aromatic and relaxing yet chilling enough to remind you that you are Alive at the same time.
    If you like oranges, this is your soap.
